[BryanS - PokerStars Official PokerStars Rep]

Hi gang,

As nearly everyone is aware by now, WCOOP satellites are in full swing and the series is nearly upon us. I'd like to get this thread going to request suggestions for satellites to events that you'd like to see but haven't yet. Please specify event target, players per table, structure, that sort of thing. [1] If something's reasonable and we can find a way to fit it into the schedule, I'll be happy to add it. The floor is yours... and thanks!

--Bryan

[1] Note that asking for X number of guaranteed seats, etc, is not the sort of thing I mean here... but types of games, speeds, a buy-in we haven't considered yet... etc.

what about a 1$ hyper-turbo 6 max w/rebuys to WCOOP 6 or 1, 9, or 12, you know, the same format as u run for the million all week, and for the warm-up. thx

[fly44]

Double or nothing triple shootouts.

[King Balky]

$11 freezeouts to $109, $215 and $320, 10 min levels

[DBo Fo Sho Taking advantage of Official Threads]

don't include the cheesy plug for the player whose idea gets accepted like i saw in the chatbox earlier

[acecatcher26]

The 11r to the razz shud run more of those, or more razz sattys of any kind. Also id like to see some turbo rebuys to the plo tourneys that arent six handed. The 4.4r would be pretty good or even a $3r. Also make some of the $2rebuys to the $109 turbos.

Also much props to Brian and stars for doing this.

[Moosebabies it's all about timing]

Race Satellite to the $109. $11 buyin. Standard speed. $2000 starting chips. When you get to $20,000, you win a seat and are removed from the tournament. Any chips you win in your final hand over and above 20k will go to the 2nd best hand at showdown. First one to make it to $20k gets the remainder if there is one, or you could let the last man standing take it.

[BigRiskky]

Any type of sattelite into the 10k HORSE event. besides the super turbos an hour before

It's not something we do often (broadcast S&G additions), but as I was adding those satellites I figured that many players would be looking at the player who wrote us was for the 5400 FPP S&G to the Sunday Million... so thought it worth an announcement. As for cheesy... well, maybe... but nothing wrong with a little appreciation, surely? :)

Cosign the $11 f/o normal speed to the $109s

We have some of these already and can certainly add more... any particular event in mind?

Added some to Event 06 for play tonight and will add some more for the coming days, as well. As for Event 05, will add $11 to its menu as well. Thanks!

A Step 4 that pays 3 seats to a $530 WCOOP tournment.

We have this... Step 4 to Event 11. More will be coming soon.

[pharreal87]

i think the 3x-turbos are a great idea and would love to play them but they are always like $33R. would be cool to see a 3x turbo (90mins) with a low buy in. $1-$5 to $109's and $215's and $320's.

sorry i'm not being very specific but i know that u know the tournament structure and u can figure out what is best buy in to each level.

would be cool just to see like a $1 3x-turbo to the $109's and maybe $2-$3 to the $215's and $3-$5 to the $320.

thank you for posting this and including our suggestions to. thx a ton.

edit: i know that the $33 to the main event pays like 1 in ever 300 buyins so would be cool to see these at lower levels that pay like 1 in every 100buyins, or even less would be cool that way.

It made sense in my mind, but after doing the math, I guess it doesn't work.

Don't stress that... happens to me all the time. ;)

i clicked quote to bryans first response and tried to do math for 5 mins then gave up. lol. i'm sure somehow u could find a way to make something like this work but might take a lot of thinking. u would have to start with a ton of people and once u win ur third table u make money. i'll start with a really high number but say u started with 1k people then after first table there are 500 people then 250 people then 125 people. so 1 in 8 get paid.

so i guess if i did that right u could do it with 80 people and 5 get paid. would be kinda cool.

edit: so i guess it wasn't that much math but this could work out. idk if they would fill the best tho. i would give them a try tho.

EDIT2: so my math was a bit bad. i guess u could do a 40 peron DON triple shoot out. after u win first table there are 20 left then after u win 2nd table u are down to 10 which is third and final table and top 5 get paid. still 1 in 8 getting paid. math was bad first time.
and 40 would be much easier to fill.

How about a package deal. Like $X buyin to win a multi-entry package which gives you a buyin into multiple NLHE events or PLO events or Mixed Games events, etc. FTP used to have an avatar race for the FTOPS but they got rid of it for some unknown reason. Those were the nuts.

Awesome playin em all til I hit bed :) Thanks for taking feedback and actually using it Bryan!

[fly44]

I dont know if you have this planned, but the mega sat to the Million was great on Saturday. How about something similar 24 hours before every event? Not sure what the best buy-in for them would be.

For this kind of tourney, $1 might actually be a bit high... let's try $0.50+R 3x-turbo and see how that looks and how we should proceed. There's one starting at 21:03 ET, T#191715898... give it a spin and lemme know what you think! Enjoy, and thanks!

We've considered these in the past, but in the end decided against them for various reasons, at least one of which (and I think the most important) is that it's much simpler to just let people try multiple times for the seats they want. It's cheaper that way, and you get more chances to qualify. Also, the only way we could do such satellites right now would be with tickets, which reduces players' options in terms of unregistration. We don't like reducing your options, and generally avoid doing so unless it's necessary.

I can't give details at the moment, but I can tell you that the above idea seems familiar to me... keep your eyes on the client. :)

registered. and thanks for the pop up. anytime. i think a lot of people should enjoy this and for what looks like a super small buy in. obv this is a crazy rebuy which should be a ton of fun and get a lot of money put in. this looks really cool.

i could be blind but does it say how long late registration is for? it doesn't matter for this, i think even up to 90 mins would be ok since its just buy in then and try and get super lucky which is cool to.

once again thank u bryan. PS is the best.

[IbizaCF3]

As long as it's not a super ultra mega turbo....WEEEEEEEEEEEE

[badonkadonk]

$50+5 freeze out to the 1k events would be awesome. 2k starting chips use the turbo mtt structure.

Does the software allow you to keep late reg open in wcoop sats similar to regular mtts? if so i think this would an awesome way to generate more seats.

[smcrawford2 The Decision Tree]

super turbo freezouts and lots of them.
